Boeing Company (BA)

That really is an excellent post. It's United's Maintenance & Operations that need the scrutiny. Interesting that BA is suffering the share price decline instead of UAL since this latest series of mishaps began. Maybe that shows how smart the pundits aren't?

Did that 737 gear actually collapse in Houston, or did it just sink in the mud when the pilot missed the turn off the runway. That one was straight up pilot error.

And the LATAM "nose diving" being caused by a pilot's seat movement? There are hard stops that are supposed to be in place to limit the range of seat movement, whether the seat is moved electrically or manually. Those stops are often removed during maintenance to facilitate seat removal. Not saying that's what happened, but the first thing I would look at would be the presence (or lack of) those hard seat stops.
